IT'S THE PEOPLE
If you ask anyone at Tradelink why they love working here, the answer is always “it’s
the people”. Now you may be rolling your eyes at this point but stick with us! There is
really something unique about the people that choose and love Tradelink.
We aren't just any people. We come from all walks of life, and have some amazing
stories. But no matter how diverse we are, there are things that connect us.
We are get-the-job-done-while-having-a-laugh people. Sometimes we are rough-around-the-edges people. But at the core we are good people, genuine people, who
bend over backward to help.
In short, we are real.
Like, Trish our Fleet Coordinator. She’s worked here for 17 years and has seen a lot of
change in that time.
"But the core never changes!” says Trish. “It’s our people, whether new starters or those who
have been here for 20 years, they bring the same type of spirit!” Trish is the kind of
no-nonsense Tradelinker who is all about making things happen. She manages a fleet of 650+
vehicles and 400 forklifts, and there isn’t anyone in the whole company that doesn’t have a
story of when Trish helped out. And she’s focused on the future too.
IT'S THE RELATIONSHIPS
Relationships that grow, that last, that truly matter. At Tradelink our people understand that working together means
partnership, and the value of keeping our promises. We also understand that legacy is about the relationships you
maintain, they shape the way you’re remembered. This is why our 150-year story is still being written.
What does that look like? It looks like caring, every day. Caring about every new customer that walks in the door,
about those that are almost part of the furniture, and about the community in which we put down roots.
Carly, Branch Manager of Tradelink Gladstone knows all about this. “I’m just so proud that we’re here supporting our
community, and the small plumbing and other trade businesses. We really building something long lasting!”
What’s the meaning of relationships for Carly?
IT'S THE OPPORTUNITY
At Tradelink, we believe our people are capable of so much. That’s why we love to
watch them grow their careers, right here, with us. Whether you want to step up, move
across or stay and grow where you are, you can do it here. As a national company, we
always have positions going across multiple fields. Put your hand up and make it
happen!
You’ll hear so many stories about Tradelink People doing great work and progressing in
the business. Read on to see how some members of our team have grown with us.
WE LOVE THE CHALLENGE
At Tradelink, we have the guts and heart to be bold. And we hope you will, too. We
don’t pretend our work is easy. But as part of the team, you’ll feel every success, and
we reckon the wins will keep you coming back for more!
With Tradelink, you’ll rise to the challenge while exercising your problem-solving brain.
We think that’s part of what makes working with us so rewarding. Because when you
challenge yourself, you grow. And we want to see growth for every one of our
employees.

NOW'S THE TIME
We don’t mean to sound cliché, but now really is the time to join Tradelink. But we
know that so many companies say this without really meaning it. So why is it true for
us?
Well, for starters we live by the motto “there’s no time like the present”. Our people
never let an opportunity go to waste, and we’re always eager to make a new start.
Does that mean we’re always busy? Absolutely! But it goes to the heart of Tradelink.
We don’t put off or delay, we dive-in and kick-on. It’s who we are.
Secondly, we’ve never had a clearer vision and strategy for growth. As a 150-year-old
business we’ve seen plenty of change and have a legacy we value. But we always
look to the future and find the steps we need to take today to get there. We’re
evolving, and joining us today means you can be part of shaping tomorrow.
Like Andy Baz, our Assistant Branch Manager at North Lakes. He is a living example
of our “now’s the time” mindset. He never stops moving, thinking up new ideas for
his branch, and making today better with an eye on tomorrow.
